I have had depression most part of my life. I am 31 now. I was on and off of medications (antidepressants and antipsychotics) throughout my illness. The main reason I went cold turkey on meds is because of the likelihood of infertility from this drugs. It has been 4 years I stopped treatment, there were moments when I struggled however I managed and pushed through. But recently it came back and I couldn't handle it and visited my pdoc and got meds again.

I have been trying to conceive for 10 months with no luck, I know my biological clock is ticking and I don't want to stop trying. Having a baby means a lot to me but I can't do without meds either. I plan to keep trying to conceive while I am on meds (I have been prescribed aripiprazole and escitalopram) and if I am blessed with pregnancy then I will stop the medicines.

Is there anyone who has experience regarding this or knows whether it will be even more difficult for me to get pregnant now under the drugs.
